I've played billiards my whole life. I understand the game and play at a decent level. I enjoy this game, and have even spent a few bucks on it. But once you quit spending you quit winning. Must be playing robots or something. Lol... You're always out matched and never get any rolls. Once I run out of money I'll delete this game and never play again. What fun is a game that you win one in five matches? P.S. why can you never win bigger prizes on the spins DhW Titan Feeling cheated??

I love this game developers but I did a coin win to do an offer for mobile strike for 48000 coins to get head quarters to level 6 and 110000 to get it to level 10 because it was double coin day or something. But I did that am as soon as I finished it was gone an I got no coins. I think I should get them. If u honor ur self as game developers u wouldn't cheat people Kalianichel Hatchett 8ball pool I disagree with a a review I read about having to spend money to win in 8ball. You win based on your own skill to play the game. Now if you want a better cue stick, or you want to play on different tiers,then yes, you will have to purchase that. I happen to like fan y cue sticks, I collect them, however, I have lost some games against opponents who had standard cue sticks. I still believe 8ball is the best pool game. I can't play pool in real life. But on 8ball pool by miniclip, I rock!!! Kanani Rembert Love the game. Can you please make a ring or reward for beating a players level ?

Keep a W/L record vs every players level. Its so satisfying beating higher tier level players, especially in big $ games , particularly tournament finals. I'm currently level #57 green league, have 200 tournament wins, most of em I won beating higher tier level players. It would be nice to get rewarded accordingly. I love the coins too. Good game. Would be great if this is added.:-) J'Marcus Brooks Good....but A great game. I really enjoy playing different people. I also like having 5o earn alot of upgrades. But alot of It is ridiculous. There's no real way to earn cash, and the daily spin doesn't win any real prizes. Would be 5 stars but I would integrate a better way to earn cash, so players can upgrade cues and get better without having to spend as much money to succeed. A K Great game Has improved a lot over time. But it seems that in the "spin & win" of the mini game the reward doesn't go much higher. I remember when it was the slot machine and used to get better rewards. Similar situations with the scratch cards. Very cheap in giving rewards.

For the possibility of winning the max prize 250k, one should expect something to win for his/her REAL money spent to aquire these cards. Please improve these. Thank you.

Full Review Mercy J December 21, 2016 The spin issue The game is all good and fun. It is exciting to play, win and level up. The weekly competition part is also cool. It kinda encourages you to play more. But what is it with the spin? Those bigger denomination prizes are probably just for show. There are times when you get only 1 coin after the spin. 50, 150, 250 coins if you are very very lucky. What's the point of having those big numbers on the spin board if they are never gonna give it to us? Full Review Glen Cawthon December 25, 2016 9 Ball/Succession Mode Thank you for putting the country names next to the flag. Don't know every country. Had been requesting that for quite a while. Would like to see some sort of 9 ball mode where all balls have to be shot in succession. This would require more skill and safety shots to win.

Of course there would need to be a 8/9 ball selector on each table (Including Monaco) to put you in the correct server. 8 ball would still be shot in last as always. Great Game. ♣️💖♦️♠️. Full Review Corey Harris January 15, 2017 Time Filler need more open chat player 2 player chat. But when you develop this type game and offer ways to collect coins as in dwnld app run then get coins/chips then nothing is rewarded,or install app complete lvl 3 ( coindozer) no NOTHING!! Seems a little scammy to me. And allow for players to openly chat to one another at game table.!! Fix the bugs in your game yo. Full Review Errol Lowe December 23, 2016 Good game Co.puter takes a statistic, tries to recreate realism, fails miserably. Fun, if you can handle the statistics playing against you when stakes are high. Oh, and make sure connection is good. Good way to lose millions of coins and not play a shot. Oh, and one more remark to go along with my previous: the physics in this game are probably the worst.

You want to use right or left english against a bank? Good luck. And also, always put back english when shooting the 8 ball from center table or you'll lose Full Review The Sandman December 21, 2016 Fun game butttttttt Unless you are willing to spend real money all the time you will spend more time trying to get free chips to pay the entry fees. At the end of the day this game is all about making money and that is obvious by the constant ads to buy something. I have over a 50% win ratio, as does just about everyone, but never seem to have enough chips to play. Luckily I can watch 4 ads to get enough to play the lowest level once. The Game is lots of fun and very well made but does have a lot of connection issues Full Review Scott Barnes January 7, 2017 Fun, realistic, not too obtrusive with ads. I've played 20 or so single matches, has realistic physics. Perhaps a little too easy with direction provided for struck balls. Solid time waster! Update: dropping to 1 star for theft of "coins" I paid for.

I started play today, 1-7-16, with 43000 or so, played one game for 3000, and lost. Played a tournament for 200, lost. Now I only have 31200. I want my 7800 coins back, wah wah wah. Full Review kevin keck January 4, 2017 Would be cool but... Physics is nothing like a real pool game. It would be a cool game but the timer completely ruins the entire game. I understand having a small-timer per shot to keep the game moving but the way it works it gives you a specific amount of time for the entire game to shoot. I was ahead and on the 8 ball with 4 seconds left to shoot when the time ran out I lost the tournament. That's completely ridiculous. Full Review Rebecca 952 January 3, 2017 Good but... It's good but I find its a lot of money and hard to get started. Also when you hit a ball in when breaking it doesn't record it.

For example I managed to hit in 4 stripped balls one my first shot and it didn't record them and then the other player hit another stripped ball and it said they had hit in 4! Please fix this!! Apart from that the game is fun to play!😊 Full Review Mamie Benavidez January 11, 2017 Pretty exciting and competitive game I have but one minor complaint. The coins, it would be awesome to receive more than 15 or 35 coins for watching a video.... However, I absolutely love the fact that I can challenge my husband and other Facebook friends instead of just being randomly paired off with strangers. Full Review Nicholas Vetter January 13, 2017 Getting better Very fun and yet addicting. I love the game play for the most part but please give more money to play with. Couple bucks and 25 coins to play with doesn't go very far and the free coins don't help either. Leveling up could be better too. Also, what is up with buying cues and being charged extra to "recharge" them? This has potential as being a 5star rated game if these issues are fixed.

Full Review Derek Thornton January 6, 2017 Connection Issues The game itself is awesome and I have very little complaints about the gameplay, however, around 6:30pm today the game just wouldn't connect and it prompted me that my connection had been dropped. I haven't been able to get on the game since. Sometimes it will load me into the menu but immediately start connecting again. I even tried restarting my phone and uninstall and reinstalling the game so it's definitely not my phone. What a shame. I just got this game yesterday and I was loving it. Full Review Dokkiro Emakka December 23, 2016 Was having problem connecting but fixed. WiFi was knocked down. Best pool game ever. It's almost better than most real world pool tables in physics. Collecting all the cues may not be your goal(I have too many never been used). but you must choose one affordable cue and advanced to better cue. Spend the money to get legendary cues. Cost of battery on legendary cues are free unlike others that cost arms and legs. Plus you'll get refunds for however many legendary cues you possess X 5%. 10 legendary cues will only cost you half the bet.

Full Review Buddy Burton December 25, 2016 Love it!!....so far. 1 thing though It's fun, addicting, user friendly, and I get to hang out and put a beating on friends I have scattered throughout the Country. If I could add/change anything, I would add the option of a chat box to allow chat during game play. Or maybe instead of only being able to purchase pre-selected remarks, I'd like the option to make up my own, you know? Set a character limit , and banned words to keep it somewhat respectable, and be allowed to purchase the option of creating my own. @ .50 cash it would increase rev Full Review Chris Cunningham January 15, 2017 Very fun and addicting for those who love pool! A great little time-killer for those who love a good head-to-head challenge on pool! The only improvement I could suggest would be a "down-the-cue" 1st-person view to check your aim before a shot... I had to take away 1 star due to the constant barrage of "entitled brat" aimbot users. EVERY time I encounter a cheat user, be warned: I will report you EVERY time to support...

I know an aimbotter when I see one. You'd better hope you're not using your aimbot if you come across me in a game. heh. Full Review Daniel Petryuk January 13, 2017 Pretty good game, I like it Im only rating it a 4 because the daily spin wheel gives me the same coins everytime i use it and same with the scratchers, for the Daily spin i always get 250 coins and its been that way for over 30 days of playing. I would like it if they could change their system they use for the wheel spin and the scratchers. Other than that its a great pool game love it, and also some of the cues cost to much to recharge so I want that changed, and the boxes give you duplicate parts, that shouldnt be able to happen. Full Review michael elliott December 23, 2016 LEVEL UP!!!! TAKES MUCH TO LONG TO LEVEL UP.NEEDS TO BE SOUGHTED... SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CALL POCKETS ON 10,000 GAMES. TO MANY CHEATS ON 50,000+ GAMES.

WOULD ALSO LIKE TO WATCH OTHER PEOPLES GAMES AND CHAT. APART FROM THAT...ITS A GREAT ONLINE GAME. THE FREE SPIN IS A CON. SPUN 35 TIMES AND NEVER GOT OVER 500 COINS.😨 Full Review Al Lawler January 10, 2017 Rips you off I won 25000 on the spin game and it would not award it. The game closed and restarted still without awarding my winnings. Also if u watch the commercials it doesn't always award the coins for that. There's absolutely no way I would ever participate in the "more" section of free coins. I'm certain it wouldn't award those coins either. Its a lot more fun to play a game that fair and doesn't cheat. Full Review Jerry Brown January 6, 2017 Good But... It's a game with good interface and graphics, probably the best pool game I've played. The game doesn't connect sometimes at startup, it says Internet connection dropped we are reconnecting you to the game but my internet is good because I have broadband WiFi and none of my other apps or devices loose connection and I never get disconnected while playing . UPDATE...

downgraded to 3 stars, It hasn't connected for the last 30 minutes Full Review A J December 26, 2016 Amazing BUT! I really enjoy this game, it's a real beauty. For those people who are complaining about not being able to make the coins without purchasing them, tip try winning!! I have recently finished in the top 10000 in the happy holidays tournament and I was awarded a ring but it doesn't show on my profile, it shows in achievements but not the rings??? Also it would be much better to have a chat box instead of the current remarks. Full Review baba top December 31, 2016 GOOD N ENJOYABLE GAME BUT SOMETIMES NOT FARE I love the live game but lately during my "Live Play Tournament" i regularly faced a very shot time during my final finishing black ball resulting I lost the game in final. Hopefully be fare so that we could finish properly. Kindly take note on this seriuosly.

I hereby need to complain seriously to the admin of this game that lately I faced a serious matter which I reguarly loose due to a very short time given during my turn which is less than 5 seconds. This opportunity gave my opponent a win. Not fare. Full Review miah tahu December 31, 2016 I want a refund.... Six day straight I have been unable to claim my free spins prizes. Game keeps dropping connection when I'm right by my modem. I'm truly sick of it, can't blame my internet, so please fix this issue, and I want my spins back please. I do like the game and enjoy playing it. It is worth more than a five star review but for my max rating to increase I want my spins please and thank you for making an enjoyable game. Full Review December 23, 2016 Matchmaking anybody? The game overall is great. Highly addictive, and the 1 on 1 is very fun. The issues start when microtransactions appear but even those don't give much advantage over skilled players. The biggest issue I have so far is how unbalanced the tournament matches are.

I am level 9 and I just "played" a tournament for about 30 seconds. During that time I didn't touch the cue ball once as my LEVEL EIGHTY OPPONENT sunk every ball in succession. Keep the tournament levels open to all but try and match players up better Full Review Jeremy Inda January 4, 2017 Won't let me put a my own picture on there I love this game I play it every day but it won't let e put my pic on there and I don't have a face book so how do u put ur own pic on there make it where I can I'll give it 5 Stars well now it's starting to freeze and I love this game plz fix both and I'll give 5 stars ok and I downloaded a game to get free coins for the pool game and it didn't give them to me plz fix or I will uninstall game from my phone I want my coins to plz thanks Full Review Robert Morris January 5, 2017 Good stüff! My only issue is the free daily spin. I can see it glitch (purposefully) so the spin always lands on a low amount.

If you're going to offer a chance to win free coins, be honest about it. I will never spend real money on a mobile game I only downloaded to kill time. Full Review Robert Spahn December 30, 2016 Endless ways to rip you off I can't even begin to count how many times this app has froze up right in the middle of a high stakes game. The wheels are rigged to hit less than 1k every single time. Sometimes you'll make a shot only to give other player their turn. And you also at times will play a computer opponent instead of a real player. It's quite obvious by how lightening fast they'll set up a shot and play it perfectly. This app sucks Full Review Shawn Cook January 17, 2017 Matching The matchmaking is very poor, how should i expect to win as a level 22 against people in the 100's range. For the spin wheel, you cant adjust the power at which you spin so you almost always win the same 150 coins. Also, never will it be fair to lose a shut in game, why should i lose all my coins when i never got the chance to win?

Full Review Sonal Salgaonkar January 9, 2017 No response from developer... This is why I gave ull one star.. Where is my cue which got for 15 cash? This was when I gave two stars...Earlier i had given 5 stars. But now giving two. Fix the some bugs. While playing mini games.. Spin and win. I won 55000 but i got oly 110... Y so?And many other times it happened. Second issue... I potted my 8 ball inside the pot.. And m not winning.... It comes ur out of time.. When i have already potted the ball and i have time. Plzzz solve or fix the bugs and ill rate ull again 5 🌠 Full Review Inuendo24 January 17, 2017 Excellent game. Play this virtually everyday. Physics are to the most part perfect and the game is very addictive! Enormous replay value and it is a game you will want to play and improve on day in, day out. Excellent game all-round. Three thumbs up!!! Update: There are ACTIVE HACKERS in this game.

As soon as I start a game I get booted out instantaneously with my coins forfeited. Happened twice on the 100k game so im weary to play that table now. Also slight issue with a sudden replacement of purchased cue. Full Review TheRizer58 December 29, 2016 it's a great game it's just a shame it's all around money yes it's a company that should be around making money but the fact that you can't play good without paying is pathetic. there's no skill it's just who has money to spend on a game for your phone.. most of the people you play are bots so it's impossible to win even though it says multilayer it's mostly bots. would be so much better if it was skill based rather than just money .. I rate 2 stars however if it was skill based then it would be 4-5 stars Full Review John Sypher December 19, 2016 Fun but too easy I have quite a lot of fun with it, but it just feels way too easy. I can go full matches sometimes with me pocketing all of them before my opponent even gets a chance, and sometimes it's the other way around.

It sometimes just depends on which person goes first. Not really that bad, but still enough to keep me from fully enjoying the game, but I do definitely recommend it. Full Review Devin Berte December 31, 2016 Great game but with one major flaw... "Why does it give ball in hand after you sink your ball in a non called pocket." It should just be end of turn and played from where the cue ball sits. Makes absolutely no sense to me. I've never come across a game ever played like this and I've played the game for 20+ years. It really kills a game in my opinion. This is the only change I would make and if you did make it right it would get 5 stars from me. Full Review Elyse Fitzpatrick January 13, 2017 It's fine, no offers work though for coins I did quite a few of the 'offers' - including simple ones like download and run a solitaire app- and it never pays the coins. It also never has videos available to watch to earn coins so don't run out of money. The game is fun, but outweighed by the fact that you can't play with no coins.

Full Review Craig Schnabel January 18, 2017 Fun pool app with some unlockables. Looks like you can get most if not everything without sinking money i to it which is nice. I will probably be spending a lot of time on this pretty pool simulation. Only downside is the physics tend to make smash and pray tactics work a little too well. 8 Ball Pool - A free Sports Game 8 Ball Pool You need to install updated version of Adobe Flash Player to play 8 Ball Pool.

It seems basic enough on the surface, but the challenging group of players and ample rewards add some depth. It's a fine time-waster no matter what your level of skill is and can help you improve your game in real life. If you've ever played 8 Ball, you'll jump right into this game without much difficulty. New players are greeted with a basic tutorial just in case they're new to the stripes-and-solids game. The game asks you to create an account, but you can skip that part and still unlock most of the game's goodies.

If you sign up with Facebook or Google, you can challenge your friends to a game and share you success on social networks. The game is a neat learning tool for pool fans, as it draws angles and lines that help you map the perfect shot. Lining up your shot and adjusting your power bar is smooth and fluid, too. You can unlock more power-ups and custom cues by winning matches and tournaments. Unfortunately, the game's in-game currency is tough to come by (unless you want to buy it with real-world money). It doesn't help that 8 Ball Pool has a ton of really talented players standing between you and the big winnings, either. However, while that can be intimidating, at first, it does help the game stay fresh and fun. Though it's tough to advance further in 8 Ball Pool, many people will enjoy the challenge and the game's pacing. The game is a blast to play even if you only have a few minutes to spend.

More Games Like High Stakes Pool Hot-deploy 8-BallPool 8-Ball Pool is the most popular type of Pool game.

It uses the full set of 15 target balls racked in a triangular shape, with the 8-ball in the center. Initially, when their turns come up, both players may strike any ball first and pocket any ball except the 8. Then, once a player pockets a solid-colored ball without also knocking a striped ball in a pocket, that player "owns" solids. Likewise, if he or she first sinks a stripe without pocketing a solid, the player "owns" stripes instead. Players must then begin each shot by first hitting one of their own balls with the cue ball, and must sink one of their balls to continue shooting. If a player hits the other player's ball with the cue ball, regardless of whether or not one of his or her own balls goes into a pocket, OR, if a player shoots and doesn't hit any ball, it is a foul and it becomes the other player's turn, taking the Ball in Hand. Once players have sunk all of their own balls, they must call a pocket and sink the 8-ball in that pocket.

If a player sinks the 8-ball at any other time during the game, or scratches (knocks the cue ball in) on the same shot when the 8-ball is sunk, he or she loses the game immediately. 9-Ball Pool 9-Ball Pool is the game of choice for professional pool players. It favors the player who can set up combinations and shot sequences. It uses 9 balls numbered 1-9, racked in a diamond shape, with the 1-ball at the top and the 9-ball in the center. The player must begin each shot (including the break shot) by hitting the lowest numbered ball still on the table with the cue ball. As long as the first ball hit is the lowest ball on the table, it's okay if another ball goes into a pocket. If a player keeps hitting the lowest ball on the table at the beginning of each shot and sinks any ball, it remains that player's turn.

If a player hits the lowest numbered ball on the table and that ball then knocks the 9-ball in (or if the 9-ball is the last ball on the table and is hit in), the game is over and that player wins instantly, unless he or she scratched or fouled on that shot, in which case the 9-ball is returned to the table and the opponent takes the Ball in Hand. If a player doesn't hit the lowest numbered ball first, and another ball is pocketed, that ball remains off the table and it's now the other player's turn, taking the ball in hand. (In this situation, if the 9-ball is knocked in, it returns to the table and it still becomes the other player's turn.) If a player doesn't hit any balls on a shot, it's the other person's turn, again taking the ball in hand. Following these rules, whoever knocks the 9-ball in is the winner. A player could have pocketed no other balls during the entire game, but when he or she sinks the 9-ball in the appropriate manner, this player wins, though the more balls pocketed, the more tokens are earned.

Freeform Practice If you just want to work on your Pool skills in private, Freeform Practice is the game for you. In Freeform Practice, you get your own private table to set up and practice whatever shots you want to try. You can't win any tokens or a jackpot, but at least it's always your shot. Freeform Practice Pool uses a 15-ball triangular rack similar to 8-ball Pool. You have the Ball in Hand before every shot, so you can place the Cue Ball wherever you like. You can hit any ball you like in any order and drive it into any pocket. And even if you miss everything, you can just continue shooting once all the balls have come to rest. If you want to make some extra space on the table, drag a ball over a pocket to remove it from the table. If you want to bring all the balls back on the table to set up some new shot, click the Rack 'Em button in the upper right. Taking a Shot In Pool, you take shots by hitting the Cue Ball with the Cue Stick. The Cue Ball then hits the target balls and (hopefully) knocks the right ones into the pockets. High Stakes Pool provides several controls to help you make the shot you want.

Most of the controls can be used in any order and as many times as you want until you are totally satisfied with the set up of your shot. Scratching and Fouling In general, your objective in High Stakes Pool is to hit a legal target ball with the Cue Ball and knock a valid target ball into the pocket. (Different balls are legal in each type of pool game. Check the rules of 8 Ball, 9 Ball, and Cutthroat for specifics.) If you begin your shot by hitting an illegal target ball or missing all of the balls, you commit a foul. If you finish your shot by sinking the Cue Ball in a pocket, you commit a scratch. In general, the penalty for committing a foul or scratch is ending your turn and giving the next player the Ball in Hand. This means that player can place the ball anywhere on the table before taking the next shot. 8 Ball also includes special rules for scratching while sinking the 8-ball. Ratings Chart In High Stakes Pool, rating points can be estimated by subtracting the loser's rating from the winner's rating and referring to the chart below.

The following is approximately how many points you can win or lose in a game if both your rating and your opponents' rating are under 2100 points. Higher point totals will receive fewer points for a win and lose fewer points for a loss. Rated games where the difference between opponents ratings is greater than 600 will not affect the players ratings. This is to prevent more experienced player from taking advantage of new players.

This blog post has got everything you need to know. Click the links below to go skip straight to the specific section. Commonly Asked Questions PROTIP: G A R Y says “The safety side of things is very important also. It’s very easy to clear 5 or 6 balls after the break but sometimes you may run into trouble. That’s where frames are lost. If you’ve messed up after clearing the table of most of your balls and left your opponent a nice easy table. You can avoid this by identifying the balls in awkward positions early on and try to break them up so you can pot them easily or play a safety game to force your opponent to make an error and take advantage of it. Game Rules Calling pockets To call a pocket all you need to do is click the pocket you want to pot the ball into. Some of the mid-ranked tables require you to call the pocket on the 8 Ball and the higher rank tables require you to call a pocket for every ball. Common fouls Fouls that will result in a ball in hand for the other player Running out of time: you have a short amount of time to take your shot, so don’t take too long or play passes to the other player.

Your time gets a little shorter with every ball you pot in a game. Cue ball not hitting your own balls: if the white doesn’t make contact with one of your own balls before hitting your opponent’s balls, or it misses altogether, this is a foul. No ball hitting the rail: if neither the object ball nor the cue ball hit the rail around the edge of the table, this is a foul. This is to designed to prevent negative play Potting the 8 Ball: the following situations are fouls, and result in the win being awarded to the other player. Potting the 8 Ball before all your object balls have been potted. Potting the cue ball and the 8 Ball on the same shot. Potting any coloured ball before the 8 Ball on the same shot. In a tier that requires calling pocket on the 8 Ball, potting the 8 Ball into an uncalled pocket. Game mechanics Breaking off If you get to break off, you can move the cue ball anywhere in the space to the left of the white line. If you pot one of more balls during your break you get another turn. However, the table will remain “open” so you can choose if you want pot the spots or stripes.

However, any spotted or striped balls potted during the break won’t count until you pot either pattern during your next turn. If you pot the cue ball on your break, the opponent gets a ball in hand. Having a ball in hand You will be able to move the cue ball anywhere on the table. Hover the mouse over the cue ball and it will change to a hand symbol for you to pick the ball up. On Mobile just swipe to drag the ball around the table. Using spin Spin can help you better position the cue ball after you’ve taken a shot, setting you up for your next one. You can also use it to snooker your opponent or stop you from potting the cue ball on your turn. You can put spin on the ball by moving the red symbol on the cue ball with your mouse or using the arrow keys. That will cause the ball to spin in that direction after it’s hit a ball. On Mobile, all you need to do is tap the cue ball in the top right of the screen and move the red circle to apply spin in that direction. PROTIP: M A G I C C U E says “The key to being a great 8 Ball Pool player is positioning.

Positioning of the cue ball is key and keeping a tight control on where that cue ball is at all times. Don’t smack the balls like your life depends on it. Use all of the time given to you and think about not just your first shot, but the very last shot you want to play.” Challenging/adding friends You can challenge your Facebook friends if you’ve linked your Facebook and Miniclip accounts.

If the ball is closer to the pocket, using a low power shot will be a better solution. Don’t try for longer shots with lot of power, otherwise there’s a higher chance the ball won’t go in.
